How our hog roast for events works in Anvil Green
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We’re frequently asked to cater village fêtes and fundraising events, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Anvil Green might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that’s fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Halal isn’t offered
- Make the stall easy to find
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Chicken widens the choice.

- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
See how we price or our hog roast cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
